Outfits are a feature in Sleeping Dogs available from vendors or earned by completing certain activities. Outfits often give bonuses to the player, such as increased experience (Face, Cop and Triad) or Melee damage. The higher Wei Shen's Face Level, the more you have access to higher quality clothing.

Note: The Discount Bonus appears to apply only on vehicles; however, this bonus also applies to all official shops, such as Food and Beverages, Massage Parlours and Clothing. Unfortunately, it won't work for the Black Market or Dragon Kick vending machines. Furthermore, it is cumulable with the Dai Lo perk.

Trivia

The outfit Hog Pen Row is a tribute to Kung Fu Hustle (2004) in which the main character, Sing (Stephen Chow), wears this outfit after discovering his 'natural-born kung fu genius'. The name Hog Pen Row is a pun on Pig Sty Alley, the area in which the film take place.

The oufit Mr. Black is a reference to a scene in Quentin Tarantino's first film, Reservoir Dogs (1992). In the scene, the bank robbers discuss what their codenames will be. Each robber is assigned a particular color codename (e.g. Mr. White, Mr. Pink). When one of the characters asks why they can't "pick their own names", the planner of the heist responds that everyone fights over who should be Mr. Black, hence the outfit's description, "Because you can choose your own color".

The Couronne Long Jacket's description, "Goes beautifully with a short skirt", is a reference to the Cake song "Short Skirt/Long Jacket".

Ikoze Sport Watch line-up is a nod to Casio's G-Shock line-up of sports watches. The in-game description: "Stylish, loud and impossible to destroy" also refers to G-Shock watches: comes in many colors, has loud alarm, and are damage-resistant.

The Lady Killer Set clothing series (hipster jacket, skinny jeans, and high-rise shoes) somewhat refers to Choi Siwon's (front man of a leading South Korean boy band, Super Junior) outfit in two of Super Junior's video clip: "Bonamana" and the Mandarin version of "U". In "Bonamana", Siwon wore a gray jacket, similar to Achete Hipster Jacket (Gray) and a pair of skinny jeans, while in the Mandarin version of "U" he wore shirt and black tie, similar to the shirt and tie in Achete Hipster Jacket and high-rise shoes similar to the one in Lady Killer Set (bear in mind that Choi Siwon is the most favorited personnel in Super Junior).

If Wei is wearing any police outfit, and he is to steal a car that us driven by civilians including Police Cars driven by Cops or if he Tackles or Grapples a civilian or Gang Member (represented by Red symbols on the mini-map), his animation is different unlike when wearing any other non-Police outfit.

If he is to take a car driven by a civilian, Wei will flash out his badge signalling the driver to leave his/her car. During this animation, Wei can be heard saying "Stop! Police!" or "Hong Kong Police". Strangely, he performs the same animation even if he has earned a Heat Level and is pursued by the Police; however, if he is to drive a Police Car that is being driven by the Police, he only performs his animation if he is to take the Police Car on the Left Side. He will still perform his standard carjacking animation if he attempts to steal a Police Car from the driver's door causing the policeman to slam Wei's head to the door and Push him away, although Wei will not earn a heat level.

Wei will handcuff a civilian or gang member after tackling one and use his Taser Gun if he grapples one. If grappled from behind, he will still use his standard move of knocking the Civilian/Gang member out.

Also, if Wei is wearing a police outfit and takes any Police vehicle that is parked outside a police station, he will not earn a wanted level even if he has been arrested while dressed in a police outfit.
